Abstract: A profiled seal for sealing between a vertically sliding window pane and a roof frame of a convertible automobile comprises a length of profiled elastomer which is co- extruded with a metal reinforcement. The profiled seal has a three-dimensional shape and can be fixed to connection parts of the roof frame. A holding section having a U-shaped cross-section is part of the length of profiled elastomer and contains the embedded reinforcement which is likewise U-shaped in cross-section. A sealing section is formed laterally as one on a first limb of the holding section which can be placed in a self-clamping and sealing manner on an attachment flange. A foot formed as one on the first limb comprises on a first longitudinal edge adjacent to a free longitudinal edge of the first limb a longitudinal groove into which a dimensionally stable edge flange of a roof of the convertible engages.

Abstract: A seal for closing a bag or container 1 with a zippered opening 3 having a puller tab 5 which cooperates with a lock unit 4 at one end of the opening, includes a disposable locking member 6 having two protrusions 10,11 which engage respective apertures 7,8 in both the lock unit 5 and the tab 6. The locking member 6 has a line of weakness 13 running between the protrusions such that one protrusion 10 can be disengaged from the lock unit 5 by lifting ear 28 prior to disengagement of the other protrusion 11. Protrusion 11 is in the form of a barbed arrow head and removal is achieved by sliding the locking member 6 so that the wider portion 16 of the aperture 8 enables the barbs to be withdrawn. In an alternative embodiment the tab 5 has only a single aperture 9 and does not extend across the second aperture 8 in the lock unit 4.

Abstract: The invention relates to a retard form containing  alpha -lipoic acid (derivatives). The inventive retard form is characterised in that said retard form consists of (a) at least one cationogenic polymer, (b)  alpha -lipoic acid (derivatives) and(c) at least one acid that is different from (b). Surprisingly, it has been found that next to the controlled release of active agents for more than eight hours and the prolonged GI transit time, an accelerated penetration of the active agents occurs. Moreover and what was totally unexpected, the inventive retard form is associated to an increased biodisponibility of  alpha -lipoic acid and the derivatives thereof.

Abstract: A method is described for determining recirculation of blood in a vascular access of a patient undergoing dialysis treatment using a dialysis machine with an arterial line for withdrawing blood from the patient's body, a dialysis filter, and a venous line for returning blood to the patient's body. The method induces a disturbance in the blood flowing in the venous line. The disturbance is of a magnitude capable of bringing the system into a transient state and determining blood recirculation in the vascular access during the transient state as a function of the magnitude of the disturbance induced in the arterial line. In particular, the disturbance relates to the variation of the hemoglobin concentration in the blood flowing in the venous line. The variation is caused by controlling a change in the ultrafiltration flow in the dialysis filter.

Abstract: A method for fluid pressure analytical electronic heat and fire detection, and a corresponding heat detector, used for detecting heat and fire, having no moving component, such as a valve, switch, membrane, diaphragm, or similar actuatable device of moving parts, for effecting activation of a warning or alarm signal indicating a condition of excessive heat or fire. The analytical electronic heat detection mechanism is based on electronic circuitry including at least one fluid pressure transducer, logic, and other cooperatively functioning electronic components, for highly accurately and reproducibly, first analyzing a potential condition, and then logically determining, an actual condition of excessive heat or fire. The electronic heat detection mechanism is fully functional, by having at least one fluid chamber closed to any external source of fluid pressure. The invention includes an automatic electronic testing procedure for naturally stimulating the heat detection mechanism for effecting operation. The invention can be implemented in a variety of configurations, including, as a spot type or line-type heat detector, closed or open fluid pressure type heat detector, operating in different ways for monitoring temperature, such as fixed temperature and/or rate of temperature rise, and, in a variety of applications, including incorporating them into multi-unit systems of automatic excessive heat and fire detection, encompassing a wide range of environmental conditions, in a cost effective manner.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des matières avec des niveaux élevés de matière insaponifiable résultant en des hydrolysats avec des propriétés uniques. On a découvert que l'application d'un procédé d'hydrolyse à des matières, en particulier, des matières avec un niveau élevé d'insaponifiables (à savoir au moins 6 % du poids total de la matière) produit un produit avec des propriétés sensiblement différentes des produits résultant de la saponification classique de matières avec moins de 6 % en poids d'insaponifiables. Les hydrolysats résultant résistent à la fois au retrait physique et aqueux de la peau et des cheveux, présentent une propriété tensioactive très particulière, et ne sont pas des agents moussants avec de l'eau. Les hydrolysats peuvent selon la présente invention être utilisés afin d'améliorer les performances des produits cosmétiques et pharmaceutiques. Ces hydrolysats sont des agents bioactifs et des excipients naturels alternatifs dans des applications topiques de matières, en particulier, dans l'application de matières sur la peau ou les cheveux de patients, et fournissent un support significatif pour les matières supportées.

Abstract: Sheets of rubber-coated fabric are mounted on the cylinders of offset printing presses. An under-packing formed from the combination of a flexible supporting sheet (12), which may however be dispensed with, and a multiplicity of flexible graded sheets (14) has to be interposed between the cylinder surface and the rubber-coated fabric to obtain a predetermined total thickness which varies as the type of printing press varies. The total thickness of the universal under-packing (10) according to the invention is equal to a predetermined maximum thickness. The thickness of the sheets (12, 14) of the universal under-packing (10) is chosen such that by removing from the universal under-packing (10) one or more graded sheets (14), the thickness which has to be obtained for any specific case can be sufficiently approximated to. That face of each of the graded sheets (14) of the universal under-packing (10) which, when the under-packing is mounted on the impression cylinder, faces inwards, but with the exception of the face of the most inner graded sheet (14) if the supporting sheet (12) is not present, is treated with a sticker of the type which, while maintaining the sheets (12, 14) united, enables them to be separated from each other.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements enable ADCs (105) to be calibrated from reference signals with unknown parameters and/or with amplitudes that exceed the dynamic range of the ADCs (105). A given analog reference signal <i>s(t)</i> is supplied to an ADC (105). The output <i>x(k)</i> of the ADC (105) is used by calibration logic (320) to estimate at least one paramater of the reference signal. A FIR filter (455) accepts as input the <i>x(k)</i> signals and outputs and estimate (<i>(k)</i>) as the sampled instances of the <i>s(t)</i> signal. A reconstruction table is created that approximates the analog input signal in the digital domain using the knowledge of the analog input signal waveform type. The actual ADC (105) outputs are compared to the values in the reconstruction table to produce a correction table (350) for calibration. In an alternative embodiment, calibration logic (320) interpolates the output (<i>x(k)</i>) of the ADC (105) to reconstruct clipped portion(s) of the input analog reference signal <i>s(t)</i> when the amplitude of the input analog reference signals <i>s(t)</i> exceeds the full swing of the ADC (105). The FIR filter can thereafter use the reconstructed signal from the interpolation.
